Has anyone considered filling a complaint with the Better Business Bureau? That is why it is there. Often times they will help you. If they cannot atleast there is public record of it for others to see.

Yea I've tested stock cat vs. test pipe ... the test makes it sound a bit louder, more vibration and basey sounding -- in and out of the car. I prefer the sound with the cat on.

Wayne, get a boost controller, dial boost in yourself and you can compensate for the restriction from your stock cat.

But Wayne ... u really should AT LEAST switch to a bigger (race) cat since you are running a 3" RMR downpipe and 3" cat-back. Your 2.5" test pipe is causing a pipe diameter mismatch and it's probably restricting flow quite a bit.


Just my 2 cents ...

I'm in the process of putting together a complaint to the BBB and BAR right now. They made a big mistake I found out by not having me sign anything authorizing the work done on my car and the amount charged. That's a big no no, so that's one thing in my favor right now. The other is the factory parts. Whenever a repair is made and the original parts taken off the car are requested to be returned, the shop HAS to give them back. These guys didn't. The list just grows longer and longer.....

I'm actually excited about my car for once though. All my parts are coming tomorrow and I'll actually have the car running again and driving nicely late tomorrow night. I'll post pics of the car together once again.

I agree, I'm keeping my Vishnu cat back and putting the stock dp and cat on....for now. I'm actually going with a 3037 turbo kit soon, one that will integrate much better than the kit that was put on my car, one that will also have a smaller A/R housing and will spool faster as well.

As Rob stated, UR I believe has a 3" race cat and Buscher has one. That's your best option.

But if you are low on funds, then swap your stock, 2" dp back in for now ... at least then your turbo back will be 2", 2.5", 3" instead of 3", 2.5", 3".

If you spent 15K at RMR they better bend over backwards to make sure you are one satisfied customer!!!
This is BS! You spent 15K there, you shouldn't be this pissed!

I don't care what kinda excuse they have, you paid them over 15K and even if you were a nitpicker they better make sure you were taken care of

I feel for you man. IF you paid for any of this with a credit card, you can call your CC company and dispute the charges up to 6 months after the charge.

I hope you put some of the charges on a CC.....you have a recourse available without getting a lawyer.

Good luck to you!
